logwatch is my first node.js app, written with the idea of seeing application debug log in an admin interface.
This specific implementation only worries about monitoring a file for changes and displaying results to a generic html front-end.
git clone http://github.com/smazurov/logwatch.git
only external module it uses is ws by Einar Otto Stangvik <einaros@gmail.com>
> node index.js example/logs/example.log
you can also generate a new log entry by running
> node example/generateLogMessage.js
then you should be able to navigate to http://localhost:8080/ to see it in action.
This is a simple example and was created as an entry point into creating nodejs applications It lacks advanced functionality while being somewhat "over the top" in structure and abstractions.
Thanks to Nodejs tail -f log viewer gist by netroy for inspiration.
